Qaddafi s Long Shadow

Libya After Qaddafi

Rebuilding the Ruins of Qaddafi

Finally, the corruption that was endemic in Qaddafi s regime endures, with ministry officials accepting bribes, for example, in exchange for contracts. For their part, the militias that overthrew Qaddafi have released prisoners in exchange for ransom payments.

In the case of Libya, it was a lot of fun meeting Qaddafi in his tent.

In the case of Qaddafi, he'd do 1.2 million, and that they would launch it.

Given that Qaddafi ruled Libya for more than four decades, his is a legacy that cannot simply be ignored. That means not only recognizing the vital link between his policies and today s problems, but also ensuring that what should be preserved is not sacrificed in the rush to efface his memory.

We set up a no fly zone within 48 hours because Gaddafi had no planes within 48 hours.

The resolution can thus be seen as another incremental step towards the establishment of a global system of justice able to punish those who commit gross violations of human rights, regardless of their political or legal status in their own country.

The revolutionary committees attacked it for being a traditional fascist institution. Qaddafi declared his desire to disband the army on several occasions, and its role was so insignificant that it played almost no part in defending the regime during the eight months of fighting that overthrew him.

NEW YORK Many would say that Col. Muammar el Qaddafi got what he deserved. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

He and I, we're stationed out at Schofield.

With ample foreign funding and preferential treatment from the government, the militias have no incentive to disband. Furthermore, they are wary of turning over control of their brigades to military commanders whom they claim supported Qaddafi or, at least, failed to oppose him.

As a modernizer seeking to mobilize his entire population, Qaddafi promoted women s social and economic inclusion by expanding education for girls, granting women the right to divorce, and appointing female judges and ministers. Though Qaddafi s female guards were mocked as the trappings of his eccentricity, they actually represented his desire to liberate women.

The committees formed their own courts, assumed sweeping arrest powers, took over the media, and purged officials who resisted Qaddafi s will. This led to a split between the state s official institutions and Qaddafi s shadow revolutionary apparatus.

When Libya s Muammar el Qaddafi threatened to kill his rebellious detractors like rats, a UN coalition intervened under an emerging global doctrine the responsibility to protect. But three years after Qaddafi s ouster, Libya remains hobbled by weak national institutions and roiled by factional fighting.

Militias have taken advantage of this system to strong arm prosecutors into issuing arrest warrants. And militias based in the city of Zintan continue to refuse to hand over Qaddafi s son, Saif al Islam, to the central authorities.

I'm staying at Carfax Hotel.

Today, Qaddafi s successors on the National Transitional Council (NTC) are perpetuating the dualistic authority that he created. Politically inexperienced and lacking strong leadership, they have proved unable to impose discipline on the myriad militias that sprang up during the revolution.

Anybody know where Zachary's got to?

Moreover, the following countries had also become sponsors of the draft resolution Afghanistan, Guinea Bissau, Islamic Republic of Iran, Philippines, Qatar, Rwanda and Zaire.

CP Okay.

Tripoli, which hosted the liberation ceremony and Zintan, which is holding Qaddafi s son, Saif al Islam el Qaddafi, prisoner. And all of them, like most Libyans, share the unrealistic expectation that their newfound freedom will somehow solve their socio economic woes.

The first is major cities competing sense of entitlement to the fruits of the revolution Misurata, where Qaddafi s body was displayed Tripoli, which hosted the liberation ceremony and Zintan, which is holding Qaddafi s son, Saif al Islam el Qaddafi, prisoner. And all of them, like most Libyans, share the unrealistic expectation that their newfound freedom will somehow solve their socio economic woes.

Libya s leaders and their Western benefactors have no choice but to consider and address the effects of Qaddafi s legacy on public attitudes and official behavior.

Of course, domestic considerations are not absent from Sarkozy s thinking. In 2007, when he played a key role in the liberation of Bulgarian nurses imprisoned by Qaddafi, Libya s leader was rewarded with what looked like a legitimacy prize an official visit to Paris.

Putting Qaddafi on trial probably would not have satisfied every Libyan s feeling of injustice, but it might have helped to instill in Libyans greater respect for the rule of law. Perhaps a trial of Qaddafi s son, Saif al Islam, will have this effect.

Wasn't any time to defend ourselves.

One body with a special concern to transform the idea of the responsibility to protect into a cause for action is the Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect, at the City University of New York. It has called on UN members to uphold their 2005 commitments and put the responsibility to protect into action in Libya.

France s seemingly natural propensity to intervene is reinforced in this case by three key factors Sarkozy, Qaddafi, and the context of a wider Arab revolution.

So, this is Little Sophie, Sophia Frederica.

and I propose Zachary, may his days in jail be short.

Your bank job since you're so keen on it.

So Kampfeldt said.

And that is what got Kaluza thinking.

My son was in Licata until ten days ago.

Zachary's in Silver town. I mean to break into that prison and get him out.
